by Nicolò Abbattista

In “Relation” the dancers play the daily life of human beings. People meet each other, look for each other, find each other, create relationships and tell their private stories: the man / woman relationship, the man / man relationship, the fears of a woman in love, the terrible feeling of inadeguacy for her man, a man who does not have the courage to accept himself.

"There are situations of course that leave you utterly speechless. All you can do is hint at things. Words, too, can't do more than just evoke things. That's where dance comes in again.”

Pina Bausch choreographer

Among all, the central story is represented by the difficult relationship between a biological mother, an adoptive mother and the disputed daughter; the suffering of the first woman for abandoning a part of herself, even with the hope to give her a better future, and the following regret.

Human relationships are created, divided, destroyed, transformed, broken, replaced, shared again, re-destroyed, re-transformed, recreated and finished, until the moment when everything restart from the beginning, inside an eternal cycle that we always carry within us.
